Low Tunnel Kit
Assembly Instructions
1. Layout the site according to the drawing
and how many hoops you think you will use.
Do not drive the stakes yet. Approximate
measurements will suce for layout.
2. Prepare a low tunnel hoop for installation onto the ground stake.
Each assembly contains one curved hoop section and two legs, one
for each side. You may choose to use the legs for more height or use
only the curved hoop and no legs for a shorter tunnel. You can change
the height of the tunnel to accommodate your plants as they grow.
3. Slide each side of the hoop onto ground stakes. Stand the hoop up
and position it where you would like, then press or hammer the stakes
into the ground. The plate on the stake should sit at ground level.
Adjust the hoop so it is even and level.

4. Decide whether you will be using single or dual hoop linking rods as indicated on accompanying Hoop Linking
Kit documentation. Install a set of rods to the hoop you just set in place by sliding the plastic clip over the hoop
body so it snaps in place. Dual rod installs are useful for taller hoops and make them more stable.
5. Set up another hoop section in the same manner as the rst, using the linking rods to position the hoop so that
the free end of the linking rod can snap to the next hoop.
6. Continue until you have the desired number of hoops in place.
7. Choose your covering material. We provide plastic lm,
but the low tunnel can also accommodate insect netting
and shade cloth for dierent applications.
8. Drape the covering over the hoops so that there is an even
amount of excess around the structure. Trim to your desired
size, making sure to leave at least 1 foot of material to the
sides and two feet to the front and rear.
9. Use the plastic clamps as shown to snap the covering into
place on the hoops.
10. Use supplied hooks or other weight to secure the covering
at the sides.
11. Pull the end excess taught and either use supplied stakes or other weight to secure the covering at the ends.
Alternatively, you can bunch the covering, tie it together, and secure it with a supplied stake much the way
tent aps are secured.
12. The low tunnel makes it easy to remove the covering for ventilation on hot days, and raise the height of the
tunnel as plants grow. We recommend using plastic lm in the spring and fall for season extension, insect
netting in the summer to protect vulnerable crops, and shade cloth in the summer to protect cool weather
crops. The low tunnels are highly versatile and innitely expandable.
